not at all the same thing; elon, like all people, is fallible. he's not an engineer and CEO and visionary and project manager and salesperson. he's just a salesperson who likes engineering and didn't finish his college degree.

as you can already see, aligning with conservative fascists on twitter/X isn't really doubt free. also he doesn't design starlink, thousands of engineers do.

except for the issue where Elon just on a whim decided to geofence the spaceX usage in Ukraine/Russia conflict to not allow it to work when near the border or in Russia :/ per article: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/08/28/elon-musks-sha...

Ukraine wanted it for defensive reasons within their own territory. It's totally reasonable that a free service has limits.

Elon Musk obtained a B.A. in Physics and a B.S. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, with concentrations in finance and entrepreneurial management. These degrees were officially conferred on May 19, 1997.

Sources:

1. Ron Ozio, Director of Media Relations at the University of Pennsylvania, confirmed Elon Musk's educational background.

The information can be found at: https://undergrad.wharton.upenn.edu/alumni-leaders/ | (Elon Musk, C’97, W’97) https://magazine.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/fall-2010/he-wont-...

2. Additional information about Elon Musk's education can be found at: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Elon-Musk#ref341081

It's fascinating how some individuals still spew blatantly false information online when it's easily verifiable. All for a lame attempt to dunk on someone.

Any indication of whether the vague “2023” promise for the large swathe of Eastern United States availability will actually come to fruition? Or is it like Autopilot in that it will perpetually be 6 months in the future?

I got my starlink two weeks ago. East Tennessee
